The Upper Tiger Jump is the narrowest section of the entire canyon, with a river width of only about 20 meters. In the middle of the river stands a giant rock, about 13 meters high. It is said that a fierce tiger once jumped to the opposite bank using this rock, hence the name Tiger Jump Stone, and the canyon is also named after it. This giant rock splits the rushing water into two, with waves crashing thunderously, the water and rocks colliding like a roaring tiger, deafening and powerful; bursts of water mist spray onto the face, allowing one to feel the coolness of the water and the vitality of life.

Here, the river is lined with rocky reefs, and the river drops more than a hundred meters within a distance of less than 5 kilometers. The Jinsha River is like a dragon breaking through a narrow pass, rushing forward, with waves crashing against the shore, and muddy waves surging, forming 18 dangerous rapids, famously known as "Stars in the Sky." The rock walls on both sides are like they were cut with a knife or axe, with steep cliffs surrounding them. The poet Sun Ranweng once wrote: "The axe leaves no trace when splitting the barbarian city, and the plow ox flows towards beauty. Every day a trench is made in the line, and the two mountains squeeze the stone as a gate."

The Jinsha River has become much gentler in the lower Hujump section, and the thrilling aspects of the canyon have gradually disappeared, with less danger and more elegance and openness. The view is broad, and all that the eyes can see are fertile fields and winding paths, with the mighty river flowing forward freely. Here, one can appreciate the graceful dance of the Jinsha River girl, the twists and turns of her journey, and the joy of breaking through the stone gate; one can also gaze at the beauty of Haba Snow Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain.
